Zero ranked opponents. Two unranked losses. No argument for them to get in.

I wasn't lobbying for the Canes to get in (although obviously we should be in - two road losses by a combined 9 points).

I just wanted others to feel pain.

Yeah, I'm for leaving out the bubble teams with very obvious flaws. Milroe is just too limited as a passer to win three games against playoff caliber teams. Just not gonna happen. I'd love to see Cam Ward against a playoff caliber team but let's be real, Miami's D is gonna give up 40+ and they're gonna lose so why bother?

Absolutely agree concerning Milroe. When he is bad, he is REALLY bad, and you just never know which Milroe will show up.

Good Bama is better than SMU but bad Bama laid a few eggs that cost them

Agree. Good Bama could win the playoffs, but you can’t reward good Bama with the way bad Bama showed up in games against far lesser opponents.

It’s remarkable Miami is even ranked as high as they are…that schedule is cupcake city

CFP can’t decide what a conference championships mean or don’t mean. Clemson beats a #8 SMU to be ACC champs…..move up only 1 spot from 17 to 16.   Miami at stays at 13.   

I think what the committee really is saying is don’t play anyone outside your conference and titles are largely meaningless.  Final record and then head to head are the focus points (SEC teams just out show that)

What the committee is saying (lower case C, cos fug 'em) is that if you don't play in the SEC or the BIG10 you'd better win your Conference because otherwise they'll find every excuse to omit you.

Great point.  I think if SMU played Bama’s schedule they aren’t in this discussion.

Both App State and Unc fired their coaches,  so both my college teams are pretty much toast for the year.

UNC football has always been toast, sometimes it just takes a few games to accept it but the inevitable always happens. That's my experience as a lifelong Heels fan.

If App has known this NIL stuff was coming I don't think they would've made the jump up to D1. I'd rather contend for championships at the D1AA level than be an also ran hoping to land in a toilet bowl in D1. They just don't have the resources to compete in the NIL era.

I said that going into the season. The twelve team field is gonna put an end to meaningful out of conference games other than long standing rivalry games and it might just take a couple of ill-timed losses in those costing playoff spots to bring some of those to an end.

I think head to head is overpriortized this year in CFP.  They wouldn’t jump SC over Bama or Ole Miss…and should have.  Then Clemson beats a #8 SMU team to win a title and they can’t move them up and value a title because of the SC head to head.  

AP seems to have done better in that section minus where they got Bama.  They should be behind SC like Ole Miss.  They got Miami rightfully behind Clemson.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
